Unfortunately I heard these guys last week and ofcourse they were all hating on the Cardinals and saying we had no shot whatsoever, which is nothing new cuz they always say that and that's what everyone says about us so whatever.


HOWEVER,

I will give them credit because today, they all ate crow and gave the Cardinals a TON of credit.

And not that crappy, bitter, sarcastic credit. They were genuinely complimentary of the Cardinals. It was a great feeling.

They all agreed that the better team won and said the final drive the Cardinals made was the proof that they were better and that drive is the stuff that legends are made out of. The talked about Kurt and Larry and how impressed they were by our defense and how they thought it was a fluke at first but there is no denying that we're a quality team. They didn't act like they'd known it all along, they admitted they were wrong about us... I was shocked, even Jay Mariotti (aka idiot king) admitted he was wrong about us... wow

They went on to make it a point to give the Eagles props for coming back too but clearly said that the Eagles didn't LOSE the game and you couldn't blame it all on McNabb or Andy Reid.

"The Cardinals were the better team."

I was really impressed. Usually any national praise for us is very tongue-in-cheek.

Before you get on my case for watching the show or caring, listen.... I'm not saying that this makes up for all the crap they've talked about us, and I'm not saying it's a great show now or that I need their approval or anything like that. I'm just saying, I was so proud of OUR Cardinals as I heard these guys give them props, they have really EARNED some respect out there, and alot of us have been sayin all year that Respect is earned, not given.

It just made me even more proud of our guys. I still cant believe it, it's like were livin in a dream my friends.

Go Cardinals!

I love watching tv and doing double takes... it is weird to hear national media people have to talk about the Cardinals.

It's great but odd.

I watched the NFL channel and ESPN all day. :) Fitz is getting a ton of props, as he should.

Nice to see these media guys eating crow.

I watched it also, and was impressed with their albility to eat crow. I usually can't stand to watch Inside the NFL, but am interested in watching this week. Doubt if Collinsworth will change his view on the Cards, because he has is foot stuck so far down his throat, he won't be able to get it out.

I can't remember if it was ESPN or NFL net but they did the piece on Kurt Warner and is story. Hid first career start in the NFL was because of an injury to Trent Green. It was a good piece with a lot of footage with Dick Vermeil.
